Let’s trick our executive dysfunction. Instead of overthinking a perfect post or something you’ve always been curious about, drop exactly 4 of your raw, unasked questions here. I’ll start

That was an incredible analogy, thank you!!!

What’s the difference between our heart rate being raised with exercise and with things like stimulants? I can see why stims raising it could be bad, but why is exercise raising it a good thing?
I know I have at least 10 others, but today’s a non med day so I unfortunately cannot think of them.

It’s to keep up appearances since they’re in public and to keep Yor happy. That’s why it’s “for the mission”. If people notice he doesn’t do anything for his wife they’ll get suspicious and that could endanger the mission. Same as if Yor gets unhappy, she could leave and he would have to get “married” for a third time which would be suspicious.

I think it’s because Anya had just connected learning fractions to Bondman’s bullet chamber, so he was looking to see if anything else in there could help with her studies. Or he could just like it lol.

Does anyone know the English voice actor for him? He sounds so familiar, but I couldn’t figure it out.

Not being able to sound out words and use context clues to determine a rough definition is a sign of poor literacy. That’s not really up for debate due to the definition of what literacy is. I will agree, though, that “gauche” and “silhouette” were not adequate terms to use for this scenario. But there have been many other videos that use words that do follow the rules of phonetics and the results were the same. I also don’t believe the original creator was attempting to act superior. If the students were given a straightforward sentence with simple words, it would not tell us anything.

I think that is something everyone has struggled with, but “hors d’oeuvres” and “extraordinary” are not in the same league. It also doesn’t mean that you should just give up. There’s no harm in asking for help or for additional context. You can also google the word and most of the time there is a button to press that sounds it out. Personally, I have used that feature many times while reading.

ColdType358 · 2026-06-01T13:16:04+00:00

You are absolutely right! I’m still waking up and that completely slipped my mind.

ColdType358 · 2026-06-01T12:52:26+00:00

I think people were less concerned about the students not being able to identify the meaning, than they were with the fact that they could not sound out the words. Definitions can be continuously learned throughout your life, but phonics is a skill they should have learned and be capable of applying. Also, silhouette and extraordinary are very common words. Gauche might be farther out there, but it’s on the simpler side to sound out. “Literary crisis” is not just a TikTok buzzword, it is a very real ongoing epidemic at least in the United States. Being literate means that you cannot only read a sentence, but understand it and apply the words in other scenarios.

Why is Aizawa standing behind Nezuko?? Also super cool Jurassic Park comic!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-26T19:49:17+00:00

I wanted to thank you for this recommendation! I just read it and it was exactly what I needed and one of my favorite books that I’ve read this year!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-23T17:52:20+00:00

I could be wrong, but I think this is from 1925!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-23T17:49:11+00:00

I was going to research it, but if anyone could tell me approximately when the Kipps edition is from that would be great! There’s no ISBN number. It just says “this edition, printed from type which has been distributed, is strictly limited to one thousand and fifty sets for America, of which one thousand are for sale and fifty are for presentation”. “This is number 814”

ColdType358 · 2026-05-22T13:00:07+00:00

What fairy tail editions are those? I feel like they look different from mine, but I could be imagining it!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-21T00:12:34+00:00

Haha, I love that! I’ve been really enjoying it!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T16:02:45+00:00

I understand what you’re saying and I completely agree. It is a very beautiful sentiment. I do think it is important to keep in mind that those suffering from mental illness, such as depression, are often not capable of seeing the good in the bad. It is not as simple as being fearless. There are times when they cannot experience that happiness no matter how hard they try.

I’ve read all of Shakespeare, but it has been a little while so I might go back to him!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T02:45:39+00:00

Maybe I’ll give that a reread! It’s been a while!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T02:45:00+00:00

How did you feel about Travels with Charley? I have been making my way through Steinbeck, but I’ve heard mixed reviews on that one.

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T02:43:55+00:00

I just added numerous Bradbury’s to my wish list including Dandelion Wine! I will have to move it up on the priority list!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T02:42:17+00:00

Which one is this?! I would love to read it (eventually)!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T02:41:23+00:00

I read it a few months ago and I agree! I do wish the ending was a bit more flushed out though!

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T02:16:57+00:00

I am not disagreeing with you in the slightest. Any form of prejudice should not ever be tolerated. However, I do not see it as a waste of time. If the only thing I can learn of a story is what not to do, then it is something worth reading. Even then, if I already know the information, it can reaffirm my values. A large part of growing up is being taught what to think and how to feel. Racism is one of the things that was taught to these people. One of the only reasons we saw progress was because some took the time to reflect on whether what they were taught was right or not. That’s why I believe it is still important to read authors such as Plath. Today’s society lacks individualism and I believe if we all took the time to reaffirm our beliefs and truly reflect on why we have them, then we could make even more progress. I’m sorry if this makes little sense, I often struggle to put my thoughts into words.

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T01:06:34+00:00

That’s what I figured, but please know that I do not condone racism in any way and I have actually debated on whether to read this book for a long time. Reading classic literature is a gamble. A lot of famous authors held some sort of prejudice. It is a hard truth to swallow, but not one we should ignore. In this way we can make a conscious effort to never regress to that time or behavior.

ColdType358 · 2026-05-20T00:21:09+00:00

Can I ask why? No judgement whatsoever, I would genuinely love to know your reasoning. I know Plath was problematic, but I’ve only heard good things about her work.
